Comment Required Option

When a Secret in Secret Server requires that a comment for checkout, the user can supply that comment via the Enter Comment modal. Once the comment is entered and submitted WPF will populate the fields and access is given.

There are two levels of support for access to Secrets:

  • If the user only needs to provide a comment, the modal shows the comment field and Submit.
  • If the Secret requires checkout, the modal shows the comment filed and Checkout.
